Abstract

Metasurfaces, composed of sub-wavelength structures, have a powerful capability to manipulate light propagations. However, metasurfaces usually work either in pure reflection mode or pure transmission mode. Achieving full-space manipulation of light at will in the optical region is still challenging. Here we propose a design method of full-space meta-device containing a bilayer metasurface sandwiching 1D photonic crystal to manipulate the transmitted and reflected wave independently. To provide a proof-of-concept demonstration, a device is proposed to show the light focusing in transmission and a vortex beam in reflection. Meanwhile, a device focusing the reflected light with oblique 45° incidence and the transmitted light with normal incidence is designed to indicate its application potential in augmented reality (AR) application. Our design provides a promising way to enrich the multifunctional meta-devices for potential applications.
